3Commas, one of the leading crypto trading platforms, has suffered a major security breach, with extensive API key leaks being discovered by the company’s management. CEO Changpeng Zhao has issued an urgent warning to all 3Commas users, urging them to disable their API keys as a precautionary measure.
In a statement released today, Zhao confirmed that the company had identified multiple instances of unauthorized access to user API keys, and that it was working diligently to address the issue. “We take the security of our users’ accounts very seriously, and we are working around the clock to fix this issue,” said Zhao. “In the meantime, we strongly recommend that all 3Commas users disable their API keys to protect their accounts from unauthorized access.”
I am reasonably sure there are wide spread API key leaks from 3Commas. If you have ever put an API key in 3Commas (from any exchange), please disable it immediately.
